Lyrics: I was walking down the road one day When I pass a horse and a fat donkey I overheard the donkey say She was a movin' up in society Seem she merry common law To a donkey man but he had no class She wanted to make a baby but Not if the father was an ass The ways of the world are very strange Laws and pagan never change The elegant donkey wanted class That's why they call she jack-ass Jack-ass, Jack-ass, Jack-ass Well it happen in the early Spring When the circus came she went to see Got to know an elephant A little too intimately Oh the elephant ask please merry me The donkey agree oh pity she It's too late now to change she mind She's in society Well now my friends the baby born Half donkey, half elephant And if you see the mother now She's only got embarrassment Say de baby is elite Not a common ass as it should be And when it walking down the street The tail ain't where it ought to be |
